The book follows the antics of an artist who makes figures out of toilet paper. We see his dull life, staring at vague figures of toilet paper, a few inches big, and then tweaking them. We meet his cat who inevitably screws up the figures. And we meet one of his benefactors, a kid with a weird physical ailment.
I loved Graham Annable's "Book of Grickle" and thought this would be as much fun. While his drawing style is simple, his humour and storytelling pace more than make up for it and his work is usually good to read. This short comic book though is a bit dull. The main character never becomes endearing nor does his paranoid behaviour make him interesting, while the incidents in a café (the main event of the book) seem a bit strained in humour rather than the more polished style I saw in "Book of Grickle".
Not his best work, probably more for the fans, I'd direct new readers to "The Book of Grickle" a recently well put together hardback put out by Dark Horse for a much better read and introduction to the underrated and excellent Graham Annable.
